Across the ocean many miles at sea,

a mermaid he saw that day

he steered his boat

to catch sight of her,

but deep into the ocean

she just disappears

 

the whole night he sat

in his boat as the waves

crashed against the hull

waiting to see her

tired he fell asleep

at the break of dawn

a big splash rocks his boat

 

and he is woken from his sleep

he rises –

to find the mermaid inside his boat

he is motionless,

he is mesmerised by her

is that a dream

or is it for real?

 

mermaid at sea.
